Chromosome inversions are important contributors to standing genetic variation in  Drosophila subobscura . Presently, the species is experiencing a rapid replacement of high-latitude by low-latitude inversions associated with global warming. Yet not all low-latitude inversions are correlated with the ongoing warming trend. This is particularly unexpected in the case of O 7  because it shows a regular seasonal cycle that peaks in summer and rose with a heatwave. The inconsistent behavior of O 7  across components of the ambient temperature suggests that is causally more complex than simply due to temperature alone. In order to understand the dynamics of O 7 , high-quality genomic data are needed to determine both the breakpoints and the genetic content. To fill this gap, here we generated a PacBio long read-based chromosome-scale genome assembly, from a highly homozygous line made isogenic for an O  3  +  4   +  7  chromosome. Then we isolated the complete continuous sequence of O 7  by conserved synteny analysis with the available reference genome. Main findings include the following: (i) the assembled O 7  inversion stretches 9.936 Mb, containing > 1,000 annotated genes; (ii) O 7  had a complex origin, involving multiple breaks associated with non-B DNA-forming motifs, formation of a microinversion, and ectopic repair in  trans  with the two homologous chromosomes; (iii) the O 7  breakpoints carry a pre-inversion record of fragility, including a sequence insertion, and transposition with later inverted duplication of an  Attacin  immunity gene; and (iv) the O 7  inversion relocated the major insulin signaling  forkhead box subgroup O  ( foxo ) gene in tight linkage with its antagonistic regulatory partner  serine/threonine–protein kinase B  ( Akt1 ) and disrupted concerted evolution of the two inverted  Attacin  duplicates, reattaching them to dFOXO metabolic enhancers. Our findings suggest that O 7  exerts antagonistic pleiotropic effects on reproduction and immunity, setting a framework to understand its relationship with climate change. Furthermore, they are relevant for fragility in genome rearrangement evolution and for current views on the contribution of breakage versus repair in shaping inversion-breakpoint junctions.
